Making a diploma with Ryukyu Washi!

Sunday, December 1 and Sunday, December 15 at Ryukyu Kingdom Castle Town Papermaking Studio
6th graders of Osato Kita Elementary School challenged the experience of making handmade Japanese paper diploma!
This diploma making experience is an annual event.

Based on Ryukyu kozo, the fiber of moon peach is the raw material for this diploma.
What looks black is the fiber of moon peach.

Under the guidance of a paper maker, the raw materials are stirred and made in the form of a diploma using a wooden frame.

I was watching you all warmly.

The Japanese paper you made is layered so that it does not stick one by one, squeezed water, and
It is finally completed by drying in the sun on a sunny day.

You will make two copies, and the best one will be the diploma.
The other sheet will be given in blank paper and used freely such as postcards!

This time, we made a diploma for a total of 58 people.
Some fathers said that there were four children and all four experienced making diplomas.
The eldest child is 25 years old and is a good member of society. Somehow, I'm sure you'll see it.

I'm looking forward to the completion of the diploma I worked hard.
Please make the rest of your elementary school life and memories and have fun.
Thank you very much.
